Astrocyte and ions metabolism during epileptogenesis:A review for modeling studies

As a large group of cells in a central nervous system, astrocytes have a great influence on ion and energy metabolism in a nervous system. Disorders of neuronal ion and energy metabolism caused by impaired astrocytes play a key role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. This paper reviews the existing computational models of epileptogenesis resulting from impaired astrocytes and presents several open perspectives with regard to ion and energy metabolism-induced epileptogenesis in a neuron-astrocyte-capillary coupled model.     

Decay rate for viscoelastic wave equation of variable coefficients with delay and dynamic boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider a viscoelastic wave equation of variable coefficients in the presence of past history with nonlinear damping and delay in the internal feedback and dynamic boundary conditions. Under suitable assumptions, we establish an explicit and general decay rate result without imposing restrictive assumption on the behavior of the relaxation function at infinity by Riemannian geometry method and Lyapunov functional method.     

Temperature effects on surface activity and application in oxidation of toluene derivatives of CTAB-SDS with KMnO4

The γ_cmc values of CTAB-SDS decrease from 63.67 mN/m at 10‡C to 36.38 mN/m at 90‡C, slightly lower than those of either CTAB or SDS. Correspondingly, the CMC of CTAB-SDS decreases almost by half. The increase of surface activity of CTAB-SDS can be attributed to the relatively weak electrostatic interaction at high temperature, which is supported by the increase of solubility of CTAB-SDS with rise in temperature. Catalytic effect on oxidation of toluene derivatives with potassium permanganate follows the order CTAB-SDS > SDS > CTAB. This is not caused by the dissociative effect of CTAB-SDS with low surface activity at low temperature, as seen from the fact that almost all oxidative products can be retrieved for different toluene derivatives and surfactants by mimicking the conditions of reaction. In the emulsifications of toluene derivatives at 90‡C, the time that turbid water layers of surfactant solutions take to become clear is the same as that of the catalytic effect on oxidation of toluene derivatives. Thus, it can be inferred that surfactants can improve the oxidation yields of toluene derivatives by increasing the contact between two reacting phases.     

n(Zn)：n(Ga)比值对合成ZnGa2O4结构及光致发光性能的影响

以ZnO和HGaO₂为原料,用不同配比合成出系列ZnGa₂O₄,并对其晶体结构和发光性能进行了研究。用荧光分光光度计检测了ZnGa₂O₄的激发和发射光谱,用X射线衍射仪检测了ZnGa₂O₄的衍射图谱,用热重差热仪绘制了TGA-DAT曲线。对检测结果分析认为:1.ZnGa₂O₄属于尖晶石结构,稍过量的Zn或Ga能进入ZnGa₂O₄结构中,并对ZnGa₂O₄的晶格常数产生一定影响。2.ZnGa₂O₄存在两个自激发光中心,当Ga稍过量时,自激发光中心是四面体镓氧键[T_d(Ga-O)],最大激发波长约248nm,最大发射波长约367nm;当Zn稍过量时,自激发光中心是八面体镓氧键[O_h(Ga-O)],最大激发波长约270nm,最大发射波长约441nm。当n(Zn):n(Ga)在理论值附近,激发和发射光强度最大,而且光谱峰位发生了红移。3.ZnGa₂O₄的热稳定性能非常好。上述结论对研究ZnGa₂O₄基质或掺杂的发光材料具有一定意义。

Theoretical Research on a Kind of Quantum Left-handed Metamaterial

Recently, research on left-handed materials （LHMs） has attracted considerable attentions. The LHMs are a kind of metameterial which have negative permittivity and negative permeability, which lead to negative refractive index in a frequency range. The LHMs that have been available so far are in the microwave range and are usually composed of classical particles, such as split-ring resonators. Some quantum phenomena such as spontaneous emission of atoms in the LHMs which are considered to be ＇classical background＇ have also been investigated. Many potential applications of LHMs have been proposed, such as superlenses which, in principle, can achieve arbitrary subwavelength resolution.

Relativistic optics in gravitational lensing: The focus of a cluster and its aberrations

In this article, general idea of focusing is studied within the framework of optics extension into general relativity (covariant optics). In a configuration of static spacetime, the general, mathematically rigorous treatment of rays, wavefronts and caustics of spherical symmetry is presented, particularly with regard to problems of obtaining them within general relativity. An original result is the aberration formulation to covariant optics, whose application is given in this paper; a particular solution of Einstein equations is finally chosen to provide concrete, exact results of cluster focal length and its aberration structure. In this way, a gravitational lensing situation is shown to be a true lens.     

面心立方晶体外延膜沉积生长中失配位错的结构与形成过程

用分子动力学方法对5%负失配条件下面心立方晶体铝薄膜的原子沉积外延生长进行了三维模拟.铝原子间的相互作用采用嵌入原子法(EAM)多体势计算.模拟结果再现了失配位错的形成现象.分析表明，失配位错在形成之初即呈现为Shockley扩展位错，即由两个伯格斯矢量为〈211〉/6的部分位错和其间的堆垛层错组成，两个部分位错的间距、即层错宽度为1.8 nm,与理论计算结果一致；外延晶体薄膜沉积生长中，位错对会发生滑移，但其间距保持稳定.进一步观察发现，该扩展位错产生于一种类似于“局部熔融-重结晶”的表层局部无序紊乱- 关键词： 失配位错 外延生长 薄膜 分子动力学 铝
